Top Investors Serve Up Picks and Pans

Star money managers, including David Einhorn and Jim Chanos, name their favorite and least favorite stocks.

THE 14TH ANNUAL Ira Sohn Investment conference offered a bouquet of picks and pans from top managers who rarely speak publicly about their holdings.

David Einhorn, the hedge-fund manager who headlined last year's conference with his bearish take on Lehman Brothers, said Wednesday, that he is short Moody's (ticker: MCO) because of the flawed nature of its credit-rating process.
